SummaryObjectivesHypoxia is known to stabilize hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) and initiate angiogenic signaling cascade. However, cartilage living in hypoxia environment can maintain avascularity. It is well known that abrogation of avascularity is related to cartilage degradation in osteoarthritis (OA). The aims of present study were to investigate the role of chondromodulin-1 (ChM-1), an endogenously anti-angiogenic protein in cartilage, during chondrocyte maturation and OA progression, as well as to explore the molecular mechanisms underlying the function of ChM-1 with a focus on HIF-2α pathway.
